Re: Keyboard Layout Settings won't stick after reboot

I've had a similar problem ever since the upgrade to 9.10. I go to Preferences->Keyboard->Layout and delete the unwanted "USA Alternative international (former us_intl)" leaving the two layouts that I do want. But after rebooting, the pretty worthless "USA Alternative ..." always comes back. I tried the trick with setxkbmap, but it didn't help. This is very irritating, making Ubuntu less attractive for international users.

Re: Keyboard Layout Settings won't stick after reboot

my problem is something like that I need both Hebrew and English layouts, but when I restart only one of them appear, when i push the Reset to Defaults button both of them appear. I then Apply System-Wide but it wont stick past the next restart.
PLEASE HELP

Re: Keyboard Layout Settings won't stick after reboot

I'm not sure about taamir's problem but I think I can help with Dale Gerdemann's. Try Preferences > Keyboard>Layout and look in the white box headed Layout. If one of the options in here is USA, click on it and then click Remove. On thinking about it, taamir's problem may be similar.

Re: Keyboard Layout Settings won't stick after reboot

Is there a bug report about it?
i found this line in the help section-
"Click Reset to Defaults to restore all keyboard layout settings to their initial state for your system and locale."
and as i said after i Click Reset to Defaults everything works alright its just somehow doesn't happen on startup..

maybe any one can help me create a script to Reset to Defaults that i can add to startup programs ??
